I just got a message from another MythTV user. This seems to be a
common problem in Finland and is not related just to Myth. I don't
have any standalone DVB box, that's why I didn't know that this is a
problem on those, too. Apparently the problem is on the broadcasting
side. PVRs are becoming more common now, so maybe more people notice
this problem. Sorry for bothering the list with this, although it
certainly is good to take into account when tweaking things in MythTV.

I tried. It didn't change anything. Still fetched randomly in Swedish
and Finnish. But isn't this setting for the audio track?

I am quite happy otherwise with the on-the-air EPG. I'm still not sure if I understand how this works. At least the OTA EPG seems to not update older data, so maybe when new data is fetched and a channel happens to provide the other language the languages get mixed up. But I'm not sure...

I'm thinking this is something that is not implemented yet, but it would be nice with a comment from someone that has knowledge about the EPG. This wouldn't be an issue in countries with one language only, but in countries with several broadcasted languages, where the EPG also seems to be broadcasted in several languages it is an issue, because it makes it more difficult to schedule things.

[mythtv-users] EPG language confusion
Hello! I'm located in Finland and using the latest atrpms mythtv version. I have one DVB card and I'm using the EPG. Everything works fine but the thing that puzzles me is that sometimes the Program Guide listing is in Finnish and sometimes in Swedish. I would like the EPG to stay in one language only, or at least be consistent and list programs broadcasted in Swedish in Swedish and programs broadcasted in Finnish in Finnish. Currently there is no way to find out which language the program is broadcasted in beacause the EPG has programs listed completely randomly in both languages. This may be a different problem, though. I'm not sure how the standalone DVB boxes work, because I don't have any. I think you can choose the language to be shown in the EPG, though. The mixing of languages in the EPG turns out like this: For instance, I'm recording a show broadcasted in Finnish that sometimes comes once a day, sometimes two episodes. One day the first episode was listed in Finnish in the EPG and the second episode of the day in Swedish. The smaller channels seem to stay in Finnish but the national channels all have mixed up Finnish and Swedish randomly in the EPG. I have my Myth set to Swedish language. I even tried changing the system language from English to Swedish (LANG=sv_FI.UTF-8) but it didn't matter. X locale is set to Finland Swedish. The real problem is that I always have to have two schedules to get every episode of a show recorded. If I mark a show that is listed in Finnish it won't record the next episode if it is listed in Swedish. So I have to find episodes listed in both languages and mark them to be recorded. Then in Recorded Programs the show is listed in two places, under the Finnish name and under the Swedish name, which is also a bit annoying. Has anyone experienced this? regards, Johan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Yes I am sure. When I rename the file imdb.pl on the frontend Myth complains that it can't find the file. Is there a way to debug what's going on? I have a separate frontend (Running fedora Core 2 and Mythfrontend 0.17) and a backend with Fedora Core 3, mysql and mythbackend 0.17. The video files are located on the backend and mounted with nfs to the frontend. Everything works fine except the imdb lookup. I have a very slimmed down frontend distribution (~940 MB) but the perl modules listed in imdb.pl are installed (obvious when command line is working). This is the result when running from command line (example): ./imdb.pl -dM A.I. # query: 'A.I', options: '' # request: 'http://www.imdb.com/find?q=A.I;' 0212720:Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) 0192959:Ai (1955) 0270823:Ai (1962) When running the search through the frontend it is reporting (verbose) 2005-03-25 05:14:24.203 Movie Search: Executing '/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scritps/imdb.pl -dM A I' 2005-03-25 05:14:28.030 #query: 'A%20I', options: '' # request: 'http://imdb.com/find?q=A%20I', options: '' # no results 2005-03-25 05:14:28.031 GetMovieList returned 0 possible matches Johan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] imdb problems in 0.17
Hello everyone! I can't get the IMDB search working in 0.17. In 0.16 the IMDB search worked fine, however in 0.17 I can't get it to work. I tried from the command line too, but no luck. Then I patched imdb.pl with the patch on the mailing list some time ago. Now it works when I run the script from the command line (as mythtv user), but it still does not work in MythTV (with the same parameters). The frontend is reporting 'no results' (with the -d switch on for the imdb.pl script) and I'm presented with the dialog to enter the IMDB number manually. The manual part works fine and I am able to download posters and info. Any ideas? Johan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
